摘　　要：Research has shown that American students often need to improve in solving word problems than their international peers.Several factors contribute to this trend,including differences in curriculum,teaching methods,and cultural attitudes toward mathematics education(Mullis,Martin,Foy,&Hooper,2016;OECD,2019).“Traditional mathematics instruction has always focused on skills and shot-cut problem-solving,”often assessing students’ability to solve word problems solely based on the correctness of their final answers.This results-oriented evaluation fails to effectively diagnose the root causes of students’difficulties in solving word problems.If students can be guided through problem-solving processes and strategies,it would be beneficial in enhancing their problem-solving abilities.
